If they’re decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can’t own anything anymore

Sony owns the blu-ray format. I’m worried.

A small boulder the size of a large boulder

Exactly. Allowing Israel to compete is an endorsement of their atrocities as it lends them legitimacy and a platform to present their country in a positive light.
But I guess taking a stance against genocide isn’t reason enough to lose their biggest sponsor, Moroccan Oil, an Israeli company.

As a big fan of Eurovision, it pains me to boycott the contest this year but I can’t stomach the thought of endorsing mass-murderers.
The EBU banned Russia from competing after their invasion into Ukraine (after a lot of public outcry, I must add), so why can’t they ban Israel as well? If the problem is they “don’t want Eurovision to be political”, well tough luck, it already is and has been from the very start.
The answer, of course, is money.

Definitely skipping that update then. Thanks for the warning

Yeah totally. In fact, I’ll be playing a live Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson tribute set next month so I’m thoroughly immersed in that music at the moment

Is your username a Porcupine Tree reference? They’ee one of my favorite bands!

Which search engine do you use?
I’ve started to use Duckduckgo but it’s a bit hit and miss.

The total annihilation of the advertising industry is on my utopian wish list.

You’re right, copyright laws were written ages ago when mass media was exclusively owned by big media companies. If there was ever a copyright dispute, the company’s lawyers would meet up with the other company’s lawyers and either settle or go to court, and both parties could easily pay for the legal fees because they were, you know, big media companies.
But nowadays everyone can simply upload something that can potentially reach billions of people, which is unprecedented in human (or legal) history, and the legal system simply hasn’t caught up to this radical shift in the status quo. This is why Youtube has to compromise between the big media conglomerates with expensive lawyers and, well, the rest of us.

But… But everyone having a right to medical care whether they’re rich or poor? Unthinkable! Think of the shareholders!

Yeah imgur was literally made to host pictures on Reddit, because they didn’t have an image hosting service

I hate it when corpos use the “oh we can’t lower prices because our staff is getting paid too much”-narrative. What about the CEO who takes half the profits for himself?
It’s the workers who create value for a company, they don’t take it away by getting paid for their work.

At the very least, no product (printer ink) should be legal to sell at a 2000% markup. Or design cartridges where you can’t use up all the ink.

Hey don’t let me take your fun away from you. I just think it’s an unusual amount of cars, but if you enjoy it then that’s great! Sounds pretty cool tbh

Just how many cars do you have, exactly??

Imagine all the problems with cars today.
They’re noisy, use a lot of energy, waste a lot of space, and are prone to fatal accidents.
Now make the car fly. You have just made all of those problems exponentially worse.
I for one would be furious if there were mini-helicopters constantly swooping by my bedroom window in the middle of the night.
